She also keeps her budgeting spreadsheet, insurance spreadsheet, and written investment policy statement here. This qube is based on a template with some additional productivity software, like LibreOffice and Gnumeric (so that Carol can run her own Monte Carlo simulations).

Like any other unmodified OSes, Windows can be installed in Qubes as an :doc:`HVM </user/advanced-topics/standalones-and-hvms>` domain.
:term:`Qubes Windows Tools (QWT)` are then usually installed to provide integration with the rest of the Qubes system; they also include Xens paravirtualized (PV) drivers to increase performance compared to qemu emulated devices. Alternatively, only Xens PV drivers can be installed if integration with Qubes isnt required or if the tools arent supported on a given version of Windows. In the latter case, one would have to :ref:`enable networking between two qubes <user/security-in-qubes/firewall:enabling networking between two qubes>` to be able to exchange files with HVMs.
